4. Monday, April 18: Adrian Bailey, Hong Kong Baptist University, “Labour Migration, Recession, and Transnationalisation: Notes from Europe”
7:00 PM, Student Building
This lecture explores how the experiences of recession across Europe have further deepened transnationalisation as a facet of late modernism. Using examples of the mobility and remitting strategies of migrant workers from within and across Europe during the 2008-2010 period of the Great Recession, the lecture links the rise of transnational familyhood to the mutual interests states and migrants share in promoting the migration-development nexus while attending to a landscape of risk. Bailey raises issues about the theoretical implications of transnationalisation for critical population geographies.
Adrian Bailey is a proud holder of a PhD from Indiana University (Geography, 1989 with a Minor in African Population Studies) and has been a member of the Geography Departments at Dartmouth College (1989-1999), University of Leeds (1999-2010) and, since 2010, Hong Kong Baptist University. As a population geographer he continues to be interested in, and critical of studies of transnationalism, through empirical and conceptual contributions to the “transnational turn” that explore the diverse ways in which the state, and governance more generally, affects family life, poverty, and health outcomes among immigrants and refugees. This work has been based on field data from Latin America, North America, Europe, and southern Africa, with a new phase of planned work in Hong Kong. He is also interested in links betweenmigration, gender, and family, and draws together disparate strands of scholarship across the social sciences to analyse how wellbeing is affected by migration, gender and family.Part of this scholarship has involved debating the term “gendered migration” and legitimising a strategic focus on “family geographies” within and outside human geography. Cutting across disciplines and methodologies has also demanded a rigorous embrace of quantitative (longitudinal modelling, limited dependent variable models, multi-level models) and qualitative tools (social surveys, content analysis), a further pedigree of his hoosier training.
5. Tuesday, April 19: Кризис инновационной активности в России(The crisis in Russian innovation activity - in Russian), Сегрей Викторович Ермасов/Sergey Ermasov
12:15 PM, Ballantine Hall 004

Dr. Sergey Ermasov is Professor of Finance at Saratov State University where he also heads the Department of Finance and Credit. The author of 35 books and articles, he has published extensively on Russian innovation activity and innovation management. He is currently a visiting scholar at Indiana University-Bloomington.

4:00 PM, IMU Walnut Room
The Islamic Studies Program and the Inner Asian & Uralic National Resource Center would like to invite you to attend the inaugural Studies in the Formation of Islam lecture. This year’s lecturer, Dr. Johan Elverskog, will speak about Buddhism and Islam on the Silk Road. Please join us inaugurating the lecture series by welcoming Dr. Elverskog in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Walnut room from 4-6 pm on April 21st, 2011.
The meeting of Buddhism and Islam is often conceived as one of violent confrontation. Indeed, the Taliban’s destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in 2001 readily confirmed our preconceived imaginings: Islam is bad and violent, while Buddhism is good and peaceful. Yet, how accurate are these stereotypes? Moreover, how do these contemporary views shape our understanding of the past? The aim of this talk is to explore these questions by exploring the cultural exchanges that took place between Buddhists and Muslims in medieval Central Asia.
Dr. Elverskog is Altshuler University Distinguished Teaching Professor and Professor of Religious Studies at Southern Methodist University. He is also the Director of Asian Studies and the SMU-in-Suzhou Program. He teaches various courses on the history of Asian religions, and his research focuses on the history of Inner Asia. He is the author and editor of seven books, including most recently Buddhism and Islam on the Silk Road.

A legend on the Eastern European music scene for over 30 years, Petar Ralchev is famous for a unique style of a wide range of influences: Bulgarian folklore, jazz and folk-jazz fusion, Romanian and Serbian music, and other European folklore traditions. Acknowledged universally as one of the great technical virtuosos, Ralchev has been heard throughout the world in solo performances and in a number of multi-ethnic European bands (klezmer and lautari “The Other Europeans Band”, classic-jazz multi-ethnic “No Border Orchestra”, new-wave Bulgarian “ZigZag Trio”) with titans of folk/classic/jazz such as Ivo Papazov, Marin Bunea, Kalman Balogh. His versatility takes one through seamless transitions of genres and meters: from Bulgarian rachenitsas to waltzes, and from klezmer-like Romanian tunes to “weaves of modal jazz”.
Performing with Ralchev are three virtuosos of the younger generation: Nikolay Georgiev (guitar), Iliana Marudova-Georgiev (vocal), and Petur Iliev (tupan, drum). All are Bulgarian artists who combine the old village traditions of their home country, polished through intensive training in elite professional schools and enriched by the musical traditions of other parts of the world.
This concert is part of a coast-to-coast tour of Ralchev and Quartet across the U.S. and Canada.
